Guidelines (for this and subsequent assignments):

• You are welcome to work together, with program tutors, use external resources.
• You must write up your solutions individually. Submitted solutions must represent your own personal understanding at the time of submission.
• Each solution should stand alone, without needing to refer to problem statement in text. This can be accomplished by simply copying the problem statement at the beginning of the solution or by producing a solution that incorporates the problem statement within it.
• Use standard 8.5 inch x 11 inch paper (blank, lined, graph, etc. – your choice). No “fuzzies” on edges if you tore the paper from a notebook. Suggest you three-hole paper in advance so returned assignments can be collected in a 3 ring binder.
• Stapled in upper left hand corner.
• Name clearly printed in upper right hand corner of first page, with page number.
• Subsequent pages numbered in upper corner opposite staple, along with your name or initials.
• Submit solutions in ordered sequence that matches assignment order.
• Good solutions will included sketches where applicable and combine explanations (usually narrative sentences) and equations.
